Ohio inching closer to Constitutional Carry

[Perd Hapley]

Depending on when the bill is signed, that's 4 states in as many weeks. And half the states, to boot.

The NRA has really been doing good work here, huh?

Time to issue a statement taking credit and a new suit

Is there blood flowing in  the streets yet? I was promised rivers of blood!

Unfortunately I have NO hope of this passing any time soon in Virginia.

Even though Republicans now control the Virginia house and Gov's office, and has a good chance of grabbing the senate next year if things continue on the current path, most of the Republicans that have been elected are "modern" Republicans... you know, Republicans in name, Democrats in thought and action.

Now that Georgia will have con-carry, does that put additional pressure on their neighbor to the south, and the politicians thereof? Or does it just not work like that?

Doesn’t become law yet until June.

Desantis has momentum,  he should be demanding the state house put that on his desk.

Florida Governor Calls for Special Session; Supports Constitutional Carry
https://www.ammoland.com/2022/03/florida-governor-calls-for-special-session-supports-constitutional-carry/#axzz7PMdf7IMT

From what I heard it was one or two Republicans in the Florida legislature that were holding it up.  Hopefully, this adds a little more pressure in an election year.  I think their primaries are in the summer.

That doesn't matter one bit! The blood must flow!

The Hill says "about 20" other states have it. They just didn't want to make it sound like "half". 

Also, Stacy Abrams, you know - the real governor of Georgia - is trying to make "criminal carry" catch on.

That is so stupid it almost hurts.

The real criminals already had "criminal carry." Thanks to the 5th Amendment and the Supreme Court, criminals carrying illegally don't even have to admit to it, because they can't be required to make self-incriminating statements.

I don't care if the NRA wants to take some credit for some of this.  They have had some part in this nationally.  However, I think they hurt themselves and the 2nd amendment in the long run by not giving credit to local state affiliate organizations.  Those groups need the support and publicity and they are the front line at the state level, not the NRA.

The NRA hurt us in more ways than that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

Attorney Alan Gura, in a 2003 filing, used the term "sham litigation" to describe the NRA's attempts to have Parker (aka Heller) consolidated with its own case challenging the D.C. law. Gura also stated that "the NRA was adamant about not wanting the Supreme Court to hear the case".[55] These concerns were based on NRA lawyers' assessment that the justices at the time the case was filed might reach an unfavorable decision.[56] Cato Institute senior fellow Robert Levy, co-counsel to the Parker plaintiffs, has stated that the Parker plaintiffs "faced repeated attempts by the NRA to derail the litigation."[57] He also stated that "The N.R.A.'s interference in this process set us back and almost killed the case. It was a very acrimonious relationship.

The NRA also initially opposed McDonald. They had their own Chicago case, which wasn't gaining any traction in the courts. When they couldn't get McDonald stopped, they then petitioned the court to allow their lawyers to take some of the time that was allotted to the plaintiff's attorneys to argue their case.

Abrams vows to repeal Constitutional Carry if elected

But... I thought Abrams was already the elected governor?

Why didn't she just veto it from whatever roadside fleabag she calls her goobernatorial mansion?
